1.0 general information
When the appliance is installed at elevations above 4,500ft (1372m), and in the absence of specific recommendations
from the local authority having jurisdiction, the certified high altitude input rating shall be reduced at the rate of 4% for each
additional 1,000ft (305m). Expansion / contraction noises during heating up and cooling down cycles are normal
and to be expected. Change in flame appearance from “HI” to “LO” is more evident in natural gas than in propane.
It is highly recommended to protect the logs (if equipped) from moisture (i.e. rain, snow). Cover the enclosure
opening when not in use.
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate. This appliance is not
convertible for use with other gases, unless a certified kit is used.
The protective wrap on plated parts is best removed when the assembly is at room temperature but this can
be improved if the assembly is warmed, using a hair dryer or similar heat source. The protective wrap must be
removed before operating the appliance.
This appliance is a decorative product. It is not a source of heat and not intended to burn solid fuel.
Batteries must be disposed of according to the local laws and regulations. Some batteries may be
recycled, and may be accepted for disposal at your local recycling center. Check with your
municipality for recycling instructions.

Las baterías deben desecharse de acuerdo con las leyes y regulaciones locales. Algunas baterías
pueden reciclarse, y es posible que su centro de reciclado local las acepte para desecharlas.

important:
Some components and/or media are packaged separately and must be installed in accordance with the
information in this manual.
This appliance is intended for installation on an outdoor patio or in your yard. It must never be installed inside the
warm air envelope of your structure.
It is highly recommended that this appliance be installed in a “sheltered” area. Direct wind will cause an erratic
flame and possible pilot or main burner outage.
An erratic flame could also lead to excessive carboning (black soot) which is not a safety issue but is visually
undesirable.
Typical installation may include covered patio, screened porch, gazebo or on an outside wall of a house.
If installing a propane appliance, the propane cylinder must always be on the exterior of such a
structure.
Ensure the area has adequate ventilation.
